Be very careful with the pressure washer not to bend the Finns .

Thats actually the radiator, the condenser is on top of the engine. The condenser and CAC were relative clean. The radiator was just horrible. I can only guess that when I get washes at the Beacon, they blow all of the dirt and trash through the condenserr, CAC and it ends up on the radiator.

We got it all apart and cleaned, but it still got hot going to Peterbilt, so I picked up the thermostats. I'm pretty sure the coolant one was stuck close cause i had to use a screwdriver to get it out. the top would move but that cup portion wouldn't. It ended up popping free. When I put the new one in I saw how the cup portion was supposed to slide up and down within the thermostat housing, so once dispatch puts a load on me, i'll know for sure.
